Pumpout and Refrigerant Transfer Procedures

Preparation

The 19XL may come equipped with an optional storage tank or pumpout system, or a
pumpout compressor. The refrigerant can be pumped for service work to either the cooler/
compressor vessel, or the condenser vessel by using the optional pumpout system. If a storage
tank is supplied, the re fri gerant can be isolated in th e external tank. The follow ing procedures
are used to describe how to transfer refrigerant from vessel to vessel and perform machine
evacuations.

Operating the Optional Pumpout Compressor

1. Be sure that the suctio n and the discharge service v alv e s on the optional pumpout
compressor are open (backseated) during operation. Rotate the valve stem fully
counterclockwise to open. Frontseating th e v alv e closes the refrigeran t line and opens the
gage port to compressor pressure.
2. Make sure that the compresso r holddown bolts have been loos ened to allow fre e spring
travel.
3. Open the refrigerant inlet valve on the pumpout com p ressor.
4. Oil should be visible in the compressor sight glass under all operat ing conditions and dur ing
shutdown. If oil is low, add oil as described under Optional Pumpout System Maintenance
section. The pumpout unit control wiring schem a tic is detailed in Figure 36 .
